The Nike Kobe 8 "What The Kobe" Basketball Releases Summer 2025

Nike is set to expand its Kobe 8 "What The Kobe" release with a special-edition basketball, dropping alongside the highly anticipated sneaker in Summer 2025. The ball mirrors the shoe’s mismatched multicolor design, featuring eight alternating panels, split between the green-based multi-colorway and the blue-based multi-colorway seen on the sneaker.

The basketball arrives in a sleek, all-black Kobe-branded box, matching the special packaging for the shoes, making this a must-have collector’s item for Kobe fans. With the return of the Kobe 8 "What The Kobe", Nike is giving fans a chance to celebrate one of the most vibrant and chaotic designs in the Kobe signature series, now extending beyond footwear.

Expect the Nike Kobe 8P "What The Kobe" Basketball to release in Summer 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers, dropping in tandem with the Nike Kobe 8 "What The Kobe" sneakers.
